Adding All Selection To A Combo Box On Search Form

Jun 5, 2014

I have a search form with unbound combo boxes that uses the combo box values as criteria for a query. The Row Source of cboCategory is based on the query:

SELECT Categories.ID, Categories.Category FROM Categories ORDER BY Categories.Category;

When I start the form and I don't select a value for the cboCategory combo box, the query just returns all the values. This is great. The problem is that if I make a selection in the combo box, I have no way of reverting it back to that initial value that would make the query return all categories - if I erase the combo box the query returns nothing. So I have to close the form and reopen it.

I tried adding an "All" value to the combobox like so:

SELECT Categories.ID, Categories.Category FROM Categories UNION Select Null as AllChoice , "(All)" as Bogus From Categories
ORDER BY Categories.Category;

but it does not seem to work. It just returns nothing instead of all the categories. How can I add a value of "All" to the combo box that will return all of the categories?

Forms :: Adding All Selection To Combo Box That Acts As Filter For SQL Statement

Nov 4, 2014

My form has a combo box which is bound to a query that selects a list of member numbers. The value selected the goes onto filter a list driven by an SQL statement.

Code:
Private Function PopulateADO(qpMemberNo As Long)
Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset
Set cnn = CurrentProject.Connection
Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset

[Code] .....

This works fine when a single member is selected from the combo. But obviously i want a "select all" or * wildcard option.

Question is 2 parts.
1. How do i add the all or wildcard option to the bound combo?
2. How do i code the all or wildcard option into the SQL statement?
Is it something like is not null ?

Modules & VBA :: Adding Combo Box To Dynamic Multi Search

Jul 27, 2015

I stumbled on to a Dynamic Multi Search form on this site and have been tailoring it to my organization's directory of contacts. Everything was going good until I was asked to include a search by groups to which each individual may belong. The data in the table is contained in Yes/No check boxes for around 30 different groups. I am hoping to add a combo box to the Dynamic Search as a means to pull up individuals in any 1 category. Below are two attempts at what I thought might work, however, neither performs any filtering.

Code:
Private Sub Groupbox_Change()
Dim db As Database
Dim qdf As QueryDef
Dim strSQL As String
Set db = CurrentDb
Set qdf = db.QueryDefs("qryGroup")

[code]....

Adding Existing Fields To Form Doesn't Allow For Record Selection

May 13, 2015

So, I have two forms that I am trying to make work the same way.

With F1Entry I can use the combo box in the header to select different request numbers.

With F2Finance I cannot do this. It works if I set the Form Record Source to T2FIN, but when I try to Add Existing Field, something about selector combo box breaks and I cannot select different request numbers.

Print Form Based On Combo Selection?

Apr 10, 2006

Hello!

I have almost completed my database, everything I had originally intended to implement into it has been done, with some extra added features I popped in along the way. There is just one more thing I require assistance with...

My database is used for booking camera kits in and out. On the add booking form the user has to pick a "Camera Type" from a combo box. When they have made their selection, a form pops up with details of all of the components contained within the kits. The user can then check/uncheck the relevant components and close the form.

I have used a command button which prints off the data contained within the current booking form, and also the data contained in the form that pops up when the camera type is selected.

However, as there are more than 1 different types of camera, comprising different components, I need to be able to print off the form relevant to the kit type.

I do not know how I can do this as I have just specified the command button to print the form for the default kit.

I basically need some VB code which will print the form based on my combo selection, as my knowledge of VB is pretty primitive, I was wondering if someone could help me out :)

Any help would be appreciated!

Unique Combo Box Selection In A Continuous Form

Feb 20, 2006

Currently I'm working on a quote form in an inventory database. The invoice form consists of a main form with the customers information and a subform which is continous and is for selecting parts. Each part has multiple serial numbers which need to be quoted individually. Basically what I want to do is when you select a specific serial number on one record, I want it removed from the combo box on all other records in the continuous form. (either previous or new) How would I go about doing this?

Combo Box Selection To Determine Which Form To Open

Jul 13, 2005

Hi don't know if I'm trying to do something that can't be done but I'll give it a try

I have a combo box which selects a type of incident e.g. report, SIF, Phone call etc

and dependent on what is selected I would like to get access to automatically select which form to open so if report is open when the command button is clicked then the report form would be opened, when SIF is selected the SIF form would be opened etc...

How do I go about this.. I have only ever wrote code in excel, so can I have step by step if it involves code (which I guess it does) including where to put the code and even how to go about it

Thanks in advance to all

Adding A Msgbox To A Search Form - Easy Peasy Except For Me :)

Sep 11, 2005

I have a code for a free text search form which will return records in another window when the search button is clicked.


CODE
Private Sub cmdSearch_Click()

If Len(cboSearchField) = 0 Or IsNull(cboSearchField) = True Then
MsgBox "You must select a field to search."

ElseIf Len(txtSearchString) = 0 Or IsNull(txtSearchString) = True Then
MsgBox "You must enter a search string."

Else
'Generate search criteria
GCriteria = cboSearchField.Value & " LIKE '*" & txtSearchString & "*'"

'Filter frmRhinitis based on search criteria
Form_frmRhinitis.RecordSource = "select * from tblBaseline where " & GCriteria
Form_frmRhinitis.Caption = "Customers (" & cboSearchField.Value & " contains '*" & txtSearchString & "*')"

MsgBox "Results have been filtered."


End If

End Sub





However, even if no records match the criteria the window will return a "Results have been filtered" but return a blank form. How do I include code that will return a "Match cannot be found" MsgBox if the search string isnt found?


Thanks :)

Forms :: Adding Search Option In Main Form

Jun 25, 2013

I have two tables called "tblFundingBodies" and "tblGrants". I have a form that allows me to view all the records for each of the funding bodies. By this I mean, it shows information on a funding body but to see information on the next funding body, I must click on the next record button. Just wanted to clarify that it isn't in the form of a table.

This form also has a subform in the same format that shows each of the grants that funding body has provided. When I select the next record from the main form, it will show me the grants from the company in the next record. The field that has the funding body is a text box.

I want to be able to add a seach facility to the main form that allows me to search for a funding body and get back exactly what I have described above, but just the details on that funding body/grants. In other words, I want the form view of the funding body I search for with the sub form of the grants from that funding body, not in the form of a table where you can see them all at once, I want to be able to click through each grant in the sub form.

Forms :: How To Load Blank Form Before Combo Box Selection

Feb 14, 2014

I have a form that I populate after making selections in two combo boxes but when I load the form the text boxes are already filled in with the first record. The combo boxes load blank, which is what I want.

How do I get the rest of the form to be blank on load? It is made up of text boxes and check boxes that are all bound. Will this only work if they are unbound?

Forms :: Populating Only Key Field Value Form Combo Box Selection?

Aug 10, 2015

In the Contacts Table there are two fields, the unique Contact ID key field numeric and the Contact Name. Like this:

Contact_ID; Name
1; Tom
2; Dick
3; Harry

In a form named "Selection" there is a Combo box that references the Contact table, and lists just the three names in the drop down (showing the Contact_ID is optional - I'm fine either way):

Tom
Dick
Harry

When the selection is made it will populate the field Contact_Ref the table called SelectedName.

Question: When the user selects the name I'd like the data populated in the SelectedName table to be the Contact_ID Value, and not the Name, so if Harry is selected the Value "3" would be saved.

Search For Records In A Form Via Combo Box

May 30, 2006

Dear all,

I'm trying to incorporate a combo box in my form to navigate through records. The plan is to select a piece of equipment listed in the combobox, and that record will then be displayed as an "after update" action.

However, I have tried through coding I have tried before and utilising the wizard to create this combo-box, but each time I get a "Complie Error - Can't find project or library".

The section of code is shown below:

Private Sub Combo227_AfterUpdate()
' Find the record that matches the control.
Dim rs As Object

Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone
rs.FindFirst "[EquipmentID] = " & Str(Nz(Me![Combo227], 0))
If Not rs.EOF Then Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
End Sub

Any help gratefully received!

Thanks,

Steve

Adding A Field To A Form Using Multiple Tables (And A Combo Box)

Jun 15, 2006

Hello!

It's been a while since I've asked a question here, but I can't seem to figure this problem out.

I am setting up a form using data from 4 different tables, all related, and I can't figure out how to add fields that I didn't initially add during the wizard set-up. I used the wizard because it's easier for me to do that and then go in and make the changes I want to make.


When I get data from just one table, all of the available fields from that table are in the "Field List" no matter what fields I chose to include in the wizard process. That's good. But when I get data from more than one table, only the fields I initially chose in the Wizard process are showing up in the field list. I can't figure out how to add a new and different field from one of those tables.

The way I "solved" this problem the first time was to start over, creating my form from scratch--but now that I've done a lot of work, it just occurred to me that I will need to add 2 more fields. (I actually don't even have those fields in a table yet, but I will add them later.) So, this will be an ongoing problem. Since this form will get much use, by several people, I don't want to have to re-create it every time I want to change something.

So, is this possible? How can I add another field?

Also, while I am at it... A combo box was working beautifully to look up specific records when I was gathering information from only one table. It isn't working anymore.

Thanks in advance!

Populate Combo Box Based On Selection In Another Combo Box (Access 2010)

Jul 11, 2012

I'm have quite a difficult time getting a form in Access 2010 to perform the way I would like it to. I have multiple tables that I've created, and a query that contains the data from the various tables. I then ran the form wizard to select the data from the query that I wanted to populate in my form and I've added 2 combo boxes.

What I want to do:
1. I want users to be able to select a category in combo box #1 (example: "Bag")
2. I want users to be able to select a detail in combo box #2 based on the category they selected in combo box #1 (example: Combo box #1, "bag" would populate the following selections for combo box #2: "sandwich" and "tool")
3. I want users to then receive a list of suppliers that provide the product they have selected, either "Bag: Sandwich" or "Bag: Tool"

I have combo box #1 populating a list of categories already. However, I am not able to get combo box #2 to provide choices based on the selection chosen for combo box #1.
